I am building a gaming computer (I have had 3 laptops before) and I am wondering if these would be good parts to get. Right now I have about $440 and am expecting a lot more soon. I will have about $900 by cyber Monday and I am wondering will these be cheaper or more expensive. I am thinking about everything with go on sale at LEAST 25%.

Math for everything 25% off may be wrong.

RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...


Cost:
GC: $260
KB: $60
MB: $160
ATX: $50 (Sale for awhile $20)
CPU: $260
PS: $85
HD: $100 2TB / $200 2 2TB
RAM: $73 8GB / $146 16GB

(Left of slashes) Price Min: $1,048
(Right of slahes) Price Max: $1,221

Estimated Cyber Monday Min: $786
Estimated Cyber Monday Max: $915

(Estimations are extremely off, I made everthing 25% off, this is 25% off the original price, therefore if something is 50% or 75% it will be much cheaper)


The right of the slashes is the more expensive side for more storage RAM and Hard-drive space (I will need a lot)

Left of slashes is for the lower ends, which I can deal with until and upgrade.

I am planing on playing games like BF4 on mostly Ultra (Shadows High, MSAA x2, SSAO)
and get over 60 FPS. Thanks, sorry it is kind of confusing but this is my first time building something I want to know if it is worth it. :p

That's a really solid build. Good with the i5-4670. That's a great performer for the price. I bet the graphics card prices will drop pretty heavily in the near future because of the amd R9 releases. Unless you are planning on sli'ing soon I would go for a little bit cheaper motherboard, but a slightly more expensive case. There's nothing wrong with the case I just think you could probably pick something by a more reputable brand and with more fans for not much more money. Ram prices will definitely get slashed around the holidays. That's my two cents. I think that would be a really good first build though.
